Meet The Therapists Behind Hawthorn House, PLLC

Kacie Henson, MA, LPC, NCC

Hi! I’m Kacie Henson (she/her), M.A., a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor. I created Hawthorn House because I believe everyone deserves a safe place to grow—a space you can return to no matter what.

I work with clients age 5 and up, helping with anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges, trauma, parenting concerns, and play therapy. I blend evidence-based approaches like EMDR, TF-CBT, and DBT with a compassionate, humanistic style, tailoring each session to meet you or your child exactly where you are. I’m also a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator and am working toward my credentials as a Registered Play Therapist.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me trying a new recipe, listening to music, lost in a good book, or spending time with my three kids. I’m here to guide, support, and walk alongside you on your journey toward healing, growth, and resilience. I can’t wait to help you find your safe place to explore, heal, and thrive!

Madalyn Perez, MS, LPC, NCC

Hi, I’m Madalyn, a Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor (NCC). I work with children, teens, and adults, providing a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. My approach is rooted in humanistic theory and person-centered principles, meaning I believe each individual has the capacity for growth and healing when met with empathy, understanding, and acceptance.

I incorporate play therapy and expressive arts techniques, especially when working with children, to support emotional expression, self-awareness, and confidence in ways that feel natural and engaging. I enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals and strive to create an affirming environment that honors each person’s unique strengths and experiences. I provide parent support to empower caregivers while fostering connection and well-being within the family system.

In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, traveling, and spending time with my family. I am thankful for the opportunity to walk alongside you in this journey.
